Who is responsible for spawning initial units?

I faced interesting situation. Spawned commander stuck in a feature and never moved. Is it an engine bug? Or Lua related?

Game bug. (Although engine spawns commander atm.)
It's easy for game to include some code to remove features in a small range around start position, or to use AllowStartPosition LuaRules call-in to block positions on top of features... (or AI could be made to reclaim the feature in such case)

AllowStartPosition is not documented. How do we use it?

old thread is old.
from LuaRules.cpp:
bool CLuaRules::AllowStartPosition(int playerID, const float3& pos)
so its
gadget:AllowStartPosition(playerID, x,y,z)
return true -> player is allowed to place
return false -> denied!
(didnt test, add to wiki if it works)
